It’s worth noting that this story begins with Jesus interposing his body between the woman and the crowd. His authority to speak was purchased at the cost of his safety, to say nothing of his credibility as a rabbi.

It turns out one of the best explanations for how we got here comes from a novel. From “Hell is a World Without You,“ @jasonkirk.fyi:

If you showed me this without any context, I’d guess it had been written by Keef to Kelvin Gemstone.

Sure Kings and Queens is cool, but the real majesty of Corbet‘s is watching dudes who have no business being there succumb to peer pressure, make half a turn, and them glumly watch as their rental skis skitter a hundred yards down the mountain without them.

The first day I did ICE monitoring I was paired with another guy and a 5-foot-nothing woman in her early 30s. While the guy and I were watching agents and trying to decide what to do next, she jumped out of the car and walked right up to them, blowing a whistle and filming. Courage on courage.

I love AT skiing. Skimo seems to miss what makes AT great, which is farting around in the woods with your pals and maybe a dog or two.

I’m in a different industry, but just had this convo:
Me: I don’t want to use AI in this process my team executes. It makes too many errors.
Boss: Too bad, you’re going to use it.
Me: Who’ll be held accountable for errors/delays the AI causes?
Boss: You own the process, so naturally you will.

I feel great, man. But you know who shares your view that the South’s problems are all the South‘s own making? JD Vance. He wrote a whole dumbass book about it. It’s not company I’d want to find myself in, but then I’m not a fake-ass progressive with a toddler’s understanding of the world.

It is the perfect manifestation of Silicon Valley brain to have encountered the ineffable divine, the prime mover of the universe, the creator, sustainer, and majestic sovereign of all creation, and think to yourself “Imma tell that guy to hurry his ass up.“

I watched “Harlan County USA“ as a kid, and always assumed that Duke Power was one of those evil relics of history like the Pinkertons. Then I moved to the Carolinas and was shocked to learn that, not only were they still around, I’d be buying electricity from them. Felt like a traitor to my people.

“They’re really critical of each other” is more an argument that Jesus *is* a Pharisee (or at least comes out of a Pharisaic context) than not. Internecine conflicts tend to be the most bitter. To borrow OP’s analogy, look at the rift b/w MAGA and Liz Cheney. Hell, they tried to hang Mike Pence.

Nah, I try to always start with “I must not understand what this person is saying.” Saves me from a lot of undignified climbdowns when it turns out I didn’t.
